Alox Top Coated Retort Grade is designed to withstand retort temperatures of up to 120°C, making it suitable for ready-to-eat and thermally processed food packaging.

PVdC Coated Film provides strong protection against oxygen, moisture, and aroma transmission, helping preserve product quality and extend shelf life.

Together, these films help packaging manufacturers develop high-performance packaging solutions that combine protection, transparency, and functionality.

Convenience-Driven Packaging Solutions for Modern Consumers

Consumer convenience has become a key consideration in modern packaging design.

Sealable Peelable films provide secure sealing with easy-open functionality, making them suitable for tray lidding and food packaging applications.

Peelable Sealable with Antifog minimises condensation inside the pack, helping maintain product visibility in fresh produce, salads, chilled foods, and Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) applications where product freshness and clear presentation are equally important.

Specialty Films for Premium Packaging Solutions

Packaging plays a key role in building brand perception, making aesthetics and functionality equally important.
